25、One day, when I arrived at school, an ice cream truck was parked in the schoolyard. Ice cream men usually drove their trucks to primary schools. I had never thought one ice cream truck would come to bring ice cream to us older kids. When I went up to the truck, I was quite surprised to hear the man call out, "Free ice cream!" To make sure of his words, I asked, "I'm sorry, what did you say?" "Free ice cream. Choose whichever you like." he said, smiling.

After I was certain that the man was just giving away the ice cream, I talked with him for a long time. He told me that his dream had always been to travel around giving away ice cream, and that's what he was now doing. With his mother's support, he kept doing what he loved even during hard times. Now, however, some large companies are helping him his plan.

The man said he wanted to encourage people to do exactly what their heart told them to do with their lives. I kept asking him, "So your dream was just to drive around and give away ice cream? It seems like a very unusual goal." "Yes, just meeting people and making them smile," he replied. At that point he handed me my ice cream. I thanked him, but what I got from him was much more than just an ice cream. It can't easily be explained in words. I believe what he is doing is exactly what a great person does all the time: small acts of big love.

26、   It is not easy to be an astronaut’s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team.

Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special-like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father's Day writing competition for the whole school. "I hope we have a winner right here in my class."

When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn't start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm. I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he wasn't just a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad.

My parents and I went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved (释然) and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me. I went up to the stage and read what I had written.

"My father's son". When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. "Son, this is the proudest moment of my life."

It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father's son.

27、I came out of my room this morning and found Mom and Dad standing in front of the TV. On the screen, Tony Verrazo, the weatherman said, “Calvin has turned west and is headed for land.”

I didn’t understand what was happening, but suddenly Mom and Dad started rushing around.

“You pick up coconuts, Jason.” Dad said.

“Coconuts?” I was confused. We had coconut trees in the yard, but why pick up coconuts now?

I wanted to ask, but Dad had no time for me.

I had no idea what was going on but I wanted to see Calvin, and I went to the beach. It was empty except for two men. One had a camera and the other was talking into a microphone. I recognized him—Tony Verrazo!

“Hi, kid. What’s up?” said Tony, smiling

“Oh, I’m taking a break from picking up coconuts,” I lied.

“Coconuts,” he said thoughtfully. “I forgot all about them. Stand over here and tell the camera who you are and what you’re doing.”

“Hi,” I took the microphone. “I’m Jason and I’m picking up coconuts because Calvin is coming.”

“Thanks, kid.” Tony said, “You’d better head home and finish your job!”

I had to do the silly job because Tony made me tell everyone what I was doing.

After hours of working in the yard, I filled up all the bags I could find. When I got inside, history was repeating itself. Mom and Dad were standing in front of the TV, and Tony was talking.

“Hurricane-force (飓风级的) winds can make flying coconuts really dangerous! Don’t forget to pick them up! And we want to give credit to (表扬) the person who came up with the idea,” he said.

There on TV, I was holding the microphone, saying, “Hi, I’m Jason, and I’m picking up coconuts.”

All day, I thought I had to pick up coconuts just because I was little and had to stay out of everybody’s way. Now I realized what Calvin really was and that what I had done actually mattered.

28、What does a policeman actually do? It is not an e【1】  job to describe. A policeman often has to c【2】 traffic. Indeed, a traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic m【3】 , stop speeding motorists and help when there is an accident.

A policeman has to help keep the peace, too. If there is a f【4】  or some other disturbance (骚乱), we expect the police to come and keep order. And they often have to deal with the situation at great risk to their own s【5】.

We expect the police to solve crime, of course, so an ordinary (普通的) policeman, even if he is not a detective, will often have to help look for and c【6】  criminals.

And who do we call when there is an emergency（紧急情况） - a fire, a road a【7】, or a robbery? We call the police. So a policeman has to be r【8】 to face any unpleasant emergency that may h【9】in the modern world.

The police do a necessary job, and they do it very well. We can’t live a peaceful life w【10】their effort. They need our understanding and support.

His words shocked me deeply. Without my father’s ______, could I only be a slave to the fate (命运)?

While ______ together in the rain, I knew that he was a promoter from the city, and he received an order and spent ______ time on it. Looking at this guy, I had no pity but ______. I took the umbrella from his hand and he told me that he once had ______ of being a policeman, but an accident ______ his dream.
